If yes, I like to comment somewhere just to see in a couple of month how far off or over the top I am.
There was just a voice vote and I am puzzled. I couldn't hear a difference between the ayes and the nayes. But Baltimore Mayor had no problem making the decision. It's always fun to watch no matter what.

However, I do think that there's a good chance that they might boo Elizabeth Warren when she says that people need to vote for Hillary. She's the one that is seen as a huge turncoat that doesn't stand for anything.
for the video. I canceled tv reception this morning. I had canceled cable and just had the networks and a few oddballs. Now I have no reception at all.

I had been watching it pretty minimally for quite some time. I know there will be times when I miss it, but I'm hoping Internet videos and Netflix will get me by.
I had really gone weary of the morning news. Start your day hearing about murders, shootings, car accidents, drownings, etc., from all over the country.
I hope the Internet will work for tornado warnings and such. That is one worry. Of course if the weather is too bad, the Internet and tv would go out anyway, haha. I do have a weather radio that I haven't used much, so I need to familiarize myself with it.
Didn't mean to go so far off topic, but thanks for asking, and for listening.
Since I have no idea what you said, I guess I'm not too geeky.
I've been told I could put an antenna on the roof, but of course no one will volunteer to do it for me. Plus, it snows here so it would probably involve going on the roof to adjust/fix it a few times every winter.
I have an unpowered indoor one that works pretty well sitting on the ledge of my window, but there are also indoor powered units that are available for a pretty cheap price like this one.
Beats waiting for someone to install one on the roof.

"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
I put it in my shopping cart to look at more thoroughly at a later date. I'm going to try to do without for awhile. Maybe in a couple months I'll check it out. Really appreciate it. Maybe I will look at unpowered ones too.
I bought a fully loaded Amazon Fire tv last March and love it. Instead of paying $80 for cable, I only had to pay for this device and that's it. Period
And unlike Amazon, Netflix and Hulu deciding when I can watch my tv shows, I can usually watch them the same night after they are done showing.
Netflix is constantly adding and removing movies and tb shows, but this doesn't.
Check out this site https://www.techlife.tv
From a quick scan it looks like they are just using a jailbroken Fire unit to house the Kodi interface.
I have a couple fire sticks and thought about doing that to one of them since they run on the same opensource platform but the cost of building a PI has gotten so cheap to put together I will probably go that route. (Plus I like tinkering with things, lol!)
The fact that you are enjoying the platform makes me more confident in my decision to build one now.

President Barack Obama. It is still a profit making commodity with millions of people still uncovered, ironically most f them the working poor who make too much for Medicaid but not enough to qualify for a subsidy. In addition there are all those who would have qualified for Medicaid but their state did not choose the expansion. AND the co-pays and deductibles and cost of drugs are STILL bankrupting Americans.
So, let's not tell each other Democratic Fairy Tales, okay? Don't treat us like we're morons. Some of us are dealing with things like medical bills on a daily basis if you have the misfortune to need to USE the insurance instead of just possessing some theoretical right to healthcare.

We also have a mid-90s heat wave going on in Wisconsin right now. It wouldn't be that bad (Colorado has two or three months of 90+ heat every year), but the HUMIDITY is effing killing me. It's something like 105 with the heat index, fucking ugh.
We've had it hot and humid in southern Michigan too.
But floriduh?

for my mom and myself (lentils in coconut milk). My mom has CNN on, and I just heard Donna Brazille, who I haven’t heard in a number of years. She sounded so contrite in her apology to Sanders, even if not sincere. My mother doesn’t like to hear me going on about the corruption of the Democratic party she has voted for her entire life, so I shut up. Sometimes, when I'm visiting I feel like I am living in an alternative reality. Thanks for this place all, where I don't have to shut up.

Frankly I hope they both get booed
And I hope there is a big walkout when Clinton speaks.

That last speaker seemed a little tipsy to me. Hillary Roddan Clinton?
turvy
If I was facing the task of selling Her Heinous to my fellow Berniacs, I wouldn't just be "tipsy"; I'd be fucking hammered.
Or maybe tripping. A little LSD would be just the thing to make sense out of today's Democrats and their politics.....

So, I was preparing dinner
for my mom and myself (lentils in coconut milk). My mom has CNN on, and I just heard Donna Brazille, who I haven’t heard in a number of years. She sounded so contrite in her apology to Sanders, even if not sincere. My mother doesn’t like to hear me going on about the corruption of the Democratic party she has voted for her entire life, so I shut up. Sometimes, when I'm visiting I feel like I am living in an alternative reality. Thanks for this place all, where I don't have to shut up.
Brazile did not sound apologetic to me. n/t

I guess I was unclear
She 'sounded' apologetic to me but not sincere.
I did not see Donna Brazile,
but I do know that she is a long time insider, so if she sounded sincere, she was doing a good job of acting IMO.
Do I hear the sound of guillotines being constructed?

He looked defeated to me :(
It was sad. I've always liked him.
Nita Lowey needs to be booed loudly.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
Stepping in late
I am already so effing sick of hearing Donald Trump's name.
Which convention is this again?
It's disgusting.
Using the Dead State gambit
Just talk about Republicans, and hope no one notices the flawed candidate.
Gëzuar!!
